Rolo2 .... I live in Merrick a couple of miles from you. About 10 years ago we went to Maine and as others have said we took the Orient to New London Ferry. We only has a pop-up at the time. If you do take the ferry make sure you make reservations ahead to time, especially if you are towing.
It was worth the extra $$. We went on a Sunday morning. The ride out on Long Island was great, the weather exceptional which made for a very pleasant ferry ride.
